Good Grammar [Grades 6-12]: Joyful and Affirming Language Lessons That Work for More Students

＂This book is about how to take grammar from being the boring, anxiety-producing, and off-putting ＂skunk of the garden party＂ to being an engaging, enjoyable, and essential guest of honor. It shows teachers how to take grammar from out-of-context worksheets and endless rule-memorization and put it into its proper context both in student writing and in the wider world. This book modernizes grammar instruction, infusing it with progressive ideals around equity and social justice, showing how to honor all forms of the English language instead of inflicting a standardized ＂correct＂ version. It is also about how to use our understanding of the brain and student motivation to make instruction stick, allowing transfer from an activity in class to the writing lives of the students themselves＂--
